Seven little days in a
long life may not
seem like a lot to
you, but you can
make life altering
decisions in that
little time span. You
could decide to sell
your car and join the
Peace Corps, ask out
that cutie (the word
cutie has iust been
permanently banned
from LOC for being
one of those words
that Just sounds
stupid i in your
English class. or
decide it would be
really cool to
delecate outsrde the
SGA office because
you are upset over
the punishment: not
enough or too much
(not recommended).

Along with your life
changing decisions.
here are some other
things that may be
happening this week.

Tonight at 9, the
basketball lottery is
taking place at
Memorial Coliseum.
UKAA is havmg lree
pizza. and music to
show thanks to the
UK students. This is
great and I say
thanks to them for
doing this, but how
about you save the
money for the pizza
and music and use it
to persuade some old
people to trade their
season tickets in for
students and we will
let them have our
seats. The only
reason I envy Duke
fans is the seating
they have.

The Tennessee lady
basketball players
Wlii gloat to the male
Tennessee players
because they barely
squeezed by us here
in Memorial
Coliseum. while the
men got beat by UK.
And by “squeezed
by" I mean by 70
something points.
Call off the dogs
after a 50-point lead
next time please

The Super Bowl,
otherWise known as
the Duper Bowl this
year, will take place
this weekend.
Amongst other things
you Will see when
watching the game (I
predict 9-3 Giants)
you Will also see over
priced glitzy
advertisrng, Iip~
syncing pop stars.
over indulgences of
alcohol, and a team
win the Super Bowl.
When does the XFL
start again?

Will more people watch
the Super Bowl or
"Survivor" right
after? I doubt it that
is a hard one to
figure out for most.

We face Georgia on
Tuesday at 9. Hope
everyone catches the
bus to the game this
time. Maryln, where
were you at Ole
Miss? We missed you.
